Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series to Sanction Commonwealth Cup at Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway on October 29
CALVERT CITY, KY--Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway promoter Sherri Heckenast and officials of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series have reached an agreement to sanction the 9th Annual Commonwealth Cup on Saturday Night, October 29 at the Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway in Calvert City, KY. There will be a complete show that evening for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series with Oval Craft Racing Aluminum Designs Time Trials, VP Fuels Makin' Power Heat Races, Mason Racin' Rebel Shock Dyno and PPM Racing Products B-Mains and the 50 Lap $10,000 to win and $1,200 to start 9th Annual Commonwealth Cup main event.
The race at the state of the art facility will mark the first appearance for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series which is in the midst of an outstanding points chase for the championship. A mere 225 points separates the top four drivers which are Don O'Neal, Earl Pearson, Jr., Matt Miller and Donnie Moran. IN the first 25 races held in '05 there have been 15 different winners and 439 different drivers have raced with the series this season.
The first Commonwealth Cup event was held in 1997 as Bob Pierce came home the first winner of the event. In 1998 Kentucky native, Steve Francis took home the cup for the first time and repeated in 1999. In 2000 there were two $10,000 to win "Commonwealth Cup" races held with Scott Bloomquist and Terry English taking the victories. In 2001 Brian Birkhofer was the winner and Billy Moyer took home the top honors in 2002. In 2003 Bloomquist took his second cup win and last year Francis made it three wins in the prestigious event taking home the first place money again.
